I received a little package from JetPens.com the other day. Stationery, pens, and paper goodies fill me with irrational amounts of glee! So do miniature envelopes made from the insides of security envelopes. Yup, look what I did. JetPens has a mini envelope template (this) with which you can trace various sizes of envelopes, then cut, fold, and glue. I tried out their Japanese glue pen (this) to secure them, and it worked like a charm. The blue glue dries clear and bonds strongly. A tip: shake it before using.

Want to get some stocking stuffers or a treat for yourself? JetPens is giving away two $25 gift certificates to How About Orange readers. I know, it's holiday giveaway season over here, right? Just leave a comment on this post by Friday (12/11/09) midnight CST. Two random winners will be drawn, announced in this post, and emailed a gift certificate.

Update: Giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to the winning commenters #425— Malori, and #897—Toiling Ant. Enjoy!

Oops, I should clarify that the orange pen is something I already had. I think from Office Max. I just wanted something orange to put in the picture! Ha! But JetPens has tons of other orange pens, so you could definitely find something, should you desire some oranginess.

Cute stationary and it's accessories have always held a special place in my heart. Squee! Such cute stuff!Thanks for the giveaway! Happy Holidays!Now if only we could have the look of pretty snow without the yucky reality of driving in it...

Those envelopes are adorable and what a great idea Maggie Reno had -- they'd be PERFECT for tooth fairy notes! But curse you for posting a link to that site... Jet Pens appears to be one of those sites that I can waste away the day drooling over...
